KENTUCKY TEEN'S KINDNESS APPLAUDED

A Kentucky teenager is being applauded for an act of kindness.

“Just treat people how you want to be treated (and) always help out if someone needs it,” Teo Jordan said.

KCRA 3 News reported that the 18-year-old Jordan, an employee at Kroger, put his money where his mouth is, assisting a shopper in purchasing his groceries.

“I saw that he didn’t have the money for all the groceries that he wanted," Jordan said.

"The cashier told him he would have to put some of the thing back, so I just thought in my head I would give him this $35 so he could have all the food that he wants."

Jordan has worked as a bagger at Kroger for only a few weeks and was working to help his family and save money to buy a car.

“I am proud of Teo," his mother, Stephanie Burton, said. "I’m overwhelmed with joy. You try to instill in your kids right and wrong, but you don’t know if they comprehend, so yes I’m very proud."
